A Quick Update

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful summer week - it has been very hot here, but we are beginning to get some summer rains, which has been nice.

For those of you who have been asking, Isaac has been doing great since his cleft palate surgery. He is almost through with his required 3 week liquid diet, and is speaking so much more clearly! It looks like he has healed completely, except he does have a small hole in the roof of his mouth where some of the stitches pulled apart. We were told that this may close up on its' own, but if it doesn't, the surgery to fix it is very minor and will not be any time soon! So it looks like we're surgery free for a long time.

We are keeping very busy preparing for our big 4th of July celebration this weekend. Plus, our garden is in full swing, and we are beginning to harvest onions, potatoes, peas, and carrots - a nice reward for all our hard work out there!

Things on the adoption front are going well - we went out as a family a few days ago for a required family doctor appointment, plus we had to get Mom, Dad, and Courtney fingerprinted to make sure they weren't criminals. And on the paperwork goes...........

We are expecting an update about our new little guy sometime in the next few weeks, so I'm anxiously awaiting that!

So, what has been keeping you busy so far this summer? I'd love to hear from you!
